And Finally .... PICTURES!!

Okay, I know that I have promised pictures for a long time. Well, you don't have to wait any longer! There are a lot of pictures so just enjoy!

Sweet Andrew standing up next to Mom, reading about what he should be eating!

This is our last picture of Jonathan -- taken two days before his death. Sweet Andrew and his very sweet Daddy!

Avery and Andrew hanging out in the big chair!



Splishing and Splashing in the bathtub! Andrew does love bath time!

Andrew, Aunt Tobey and Uncle Lem hanging out at Hutch and Ashley's house.




Sarah Stonecipher X 2 playing tennis on the Wii. (for those who don't know, my sister-in-law's name is also Sarah Stonecipher -- yeah, it is a little crazy at Christmas time!)

Andrew's first snow ... he really didn't know what the think about it. Notice the snow on the hat ... his first snow ball thrown at him from his loving ShoSho!

Chillin' in the snow! He didn't stay out too long ... just enough for a couple of pictures.


Avery playing in the snow! ShoSho also threw a snow ball at her ... hit her in the head and made her cry ... but Aunt Tobey was there and that made it a little better! Cause everything is okay when Aunt Tobey is here!

Yes?!


Josh, Avery, and Bonnie -- what a cute family!
Tobey, Sarah, and Suzann (aka ShoSho!)
Grandad and Andrew posing for a cute picture!



March 12 was my 27th birthday! And what a day it was! Andrew sent me balloons at work! (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Stonecipher!) My mom and dad brought me balloons and a cake to work! And then we went to Red Lobster (yum!yum!) for dinner. And it as a blast! It was their goal (my family) that I receive 27 presents on that day. I'm sure I got that many, and much more. One of the first gifts were birthday hats and those little blower things that you have a parties! Well, who knew that Horton Hears a Who is so cute on a hat?! We all wore them! Our waitress thought it was pretty funny and we did get some interesting looks from those around us! But we didn't care. And then the gifts just kept coming ... and they all had meanings behind them ... well, most of the did. I got some cute socks that said "left foot" on one and "right foot" on the other ... and the meaning behind those "well, some days it may be hard to get dressed and this is just to help!" It was just little gifts like that that I recieved. It made that day so wonderful! I thought that it might possibly be a really hard day since it was my first birthday without Jonathan, but everyone made it a fabulous day! Thanks. Here are some pictures of us at dinner!

Sarah and Andrew -- he was more into his toys than our hats!



ShoSho and Grandad with their cute hats!

Uncle Lem and Aunt Tobey -- don't they look excited!
Yummy little fingers!
Blowing those little things with our hats on!

Avery and Andrew with their favorite Aunt Tobey! I think Tobey was the most excited about it!

Cute, cute, cute. Andrew is so cute!!! :) Thanks for updating, and happy belated b-day. I'm so glad you had your family and friends surround you on that day. What a blessing. I know it must be so hard for you, so I'm glad you have them to support you on these first milestones (b-days, holidays) without Jonathan. My prayers remain with you.

Hello, Precious Girl! Your "baby" is absolutely beautiful. Or I guess I should say Handsome! LOL I put parentheses around the word baby because he's growing up quickly. It's wonderful to see the two of you through pictures. We're still praying for you and God's blessings on your lives.

Love,
Angela
